  1. I reckon that as a virgin you could pick a lot worse places to go than Holland And if you do break your 'duck' make sure you dont catch anything You dont want to go anywhere near a gravelly bottom either, especially a gravelly hairy one Stick to the smooth bottoms, IMHO they are far better
  2. You need to pm elite1. He's been before and for those who dont know, caught an 80
  3. http://www.carp.com/article131.html
  4. Usually none If i'm being really efficient, 1 I knock 'em up as and when I need them usually, night or day it doesnt take a minute
  5. I use ESP leadcore all the time. I think it does make a difference personally. The ESP stuff takes on silt from the bottom and quickly blends in nicely. Its also nice and thick and is less prone to lifting scales from fish. Plus there is always the 'if it gives you confidence' bit to factor in then it can only be good. I'd just like to point out that if leadcore isnt used correctly then the carp are at risk. Use it wisely and there are no problems IMO.
  6. Just use what you use over here, France is no different to England. The weather is better and the carp on the whole are bigger, thats all. Just make sure they are sharp.
  7. Never got on with these and I lost a few fish before packing them off to the bin. Using Drennan Super Specialist Barbel hooks now and have pulled out of only 1 fish since about May so find them much better. There you go, the kiss of death

  9. You will find the simplest ones are mostly the best
  10. Failing to procure some plasterice you could always try plasticine Just had a look at ebay prices for putty, the most expensive one was Kryston Heavy Metal at £6.19 with free postage so yes, your shop is ripping you off.
  11. I use a nice long hooklink, as long as I can cast comfortably. For my hooklink I use Drennan Double Strength in 7lb.
  12. Stunning fish there Bob. If thats the sergeant whats the general like:eek:
  13. so where exactly is this place fish4fun?? sounds right up my street as i dont usually go after the big ones and fish of 20-30lbs would suit me:D
